Breathless | An Underwater Short Film about Love, Jealousy & Synchronized Swimming

A committed synchronized swimmer tries to win the championship and the heart of the coach. A selection of Short of the Week, the web's leading curators of quality short films. ✨ JOIN US ON SHORTVERSE: https://www.shortverse.com/ 🎬 SUBMIT A FILM: https://www.shortoftheweek.com/submit/ 🏊 Breathless Dir. Oleksii Sobolev We talk a lot about the idea of short films being a sandbox for innovation in visual storytelling. With our curation we endeavor to highlight new types of stories—fresh approaches that you don’t get from TV or Hollywood films. But adjacent to this emphasis on innovation of type, is the possibility to tell familiar stories in a fresh way—highlighting a new perspective on timeless plots. Breathless does this spectacularly via its visual conceit, taking us into the rarely-glimpsed world of synchronized swimming to depict an operatic story of love, jealousy, and betrayal, yet, in a dazzling twist, the camera never leaves the pool. - S/W Curator, Céline Roustan FULL REVIEW: https://www.shortoftheweek.com/2018/0...
